damaja Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Be good if everyone could bring one red and one blue shirt or the like, it was a bit confusing having a multi coloured kick around.... Buy some bibs. Its hot playing as it is, and bibs just add another layer, I'm sure everyones either got a red/white/blue colour Tshirt. Actually, I think the place might have bibs - I think I saw some hanging on a rack upstairs in the 'office' - so we could try next time if they'll let us use them. Otherwise, maybe everyone should just bring two t-shirts with them - one light and one dark - then if we can't use their bibs or don't like having 2 layers, we can just split teams according to light or dark shirts (avoiding the whole red-blue allegiances thing too ;P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaRanter Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) when its the next game? I am 40 and just played a couple of game recently after 15 years. The arsenal grounds at Suk 21 is quite a hike for me as I live around suksawat. In BTW I am sloppier than Sol Campbell. I am good for 31st.

Also, bibs are ok for me too. However, if Beejoir insists, them my size, in blue and red, is large, thanks. Luang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am good for 31st. It's ok, I'm knocking on the door of 40 myself, and I suspect I'm not the only one. So you may as well come along on Sunday 31st and see how you feel.

mrtoad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 maybe Ill sponsor with Arsenal shirts (if MrToad will wear it then Im happy to sponsor his team of 5 ) Miggy my team is already sponsored by The Crossbar and we have to wear Gold and black, which is Wolves and incidentally Cornwall colours. Sadly at the moment I am out of town, but hopefully will be back for the 7th of February for the Vets league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I would definitely love to play though I think the majority of ya'll are probably a fair bit younger with better knees and many other joints, I have probably more years playing then most of you have in age . Right now for me it's more about transportation and free time but hopefully that will change soon and I can make it.. It will take some time for me to regain some fitness though that's for certain and hopefully the effort won't kill me... I'd prefer to play with a mix of vets and youth though as any other way is going to be too much running for the older guys even with unlimited subs while that may not be fair to the youngun's and maybe a bit more restrained in my opinion it works out better and there's the problem of a goalkeeper and age is a major deterrent to that position or I'd play it..So I'm saving this in book marks and hope to join eventually... PM mrtoad as he plays in the Vets comp once a month. Thats way you can break yourself in gently. Yep. always looking for players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damaja Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 how many have we got for this weekend? I'm assuming same as last week, plus a few more - like JonnyF. Not heard from anyone from last week cancelling as yet. Will send out a reminder email to all the contacts I have tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damaja Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi all, Check your emails everyone who's given me theirs. Here's the same info for those who haven't yet... As far as I can tell, the following is the playing/contact list for this week: Expected for Sunday 31st Jan at 5pm: - Damaja - Angustan - Beechy - Beejoir (+2) - Bkksteviejai - Chrisdino ? - Groovetank (+1) - JonnyF - Luang (+1) - MegaRanter - Tamo Maybe, but not sure: - ChrisMoss - EmanuelSWE - Neutronium So there should be plenty coming to play, which means I'd recommend you get down there early so we're playing full the whole hour. As soon as we've got 10, we start playing games. Then if/when there's more than 10 we'll start substituting every time a goal is scored from the side that concedes a goal (until there's 5 or more waiting, which will then mean the whole side changes each time they concede a goal... etc). If we feel like playing more after 1 hour it shouldn't be a problem to extend, so don't worry too much about playing time. If you can, please try to bring 2 t-shirts of contrasting colours. For those that didn't come last week, here's the location info etc.: We are playing this Sunday, 5pm - 6pm Court is booked under my name - Adam. Cost is 600 baht divided by the # that show up. [it's off-peak at 5pm then if we extend it's 1200 bht/hr - 5pm-9pm]. Location (again, sorry 4 repetition for some): X-Park ('Sponsor park') 56 South Sathorn Rd. Bangkok 10120. > Next to 'Fraser Suites Urbana Sathorn' and opposite Silom Soi 2 (Convent Rd.). - It's a short walk from either Sala Daeng or Chong Nonsi BTS, or either Silom or Lumpini MRT stations. If you can't find it, call me (+66879829063). > google map location: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?oe=UTF-8&am....01987&z=16 > Sponsor Park website with map in Thai for taxi: http://www.sponsor.co.th/sponsorpark/contact.html Note: !- Don't forget: -Kit (rubber-sole sport-Shoes+Shorts+Socks+t-shirt); -Money (180+ baht); -Towel; -Water (though a drinks machine is there - need coins); -Shinguards (if u have); Ball (if u have). -No lockers unfortunately. -2 basic cold-water showers in the bathrooms. -They have futsal balls there, but if anyone has a good ball please bring along. See you all Sunday hopefully (I'll maybe bring a wheelchair this time just in case!) -Adam. P.S.: Still in the loop...Interested in future but not yet available (till): - vid1 (Sun 7th Feb?) - Richard_smith237 (Sun 28th Feb?) - Wossnext (?) - Sure (?) - MSingh (?)

damaja Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 I've created a new topic with a poll for deciding which would be best day to play a 2nd weekly game, here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Football-fut...-W-t334720.html Please only add a vote if you are already subscribed to this topic and are participating, or have replied to me by PM and expect to join in the near future. Vote for your 1st and 2nd preference for a week day evening on which we should book a 2nd weekly game, then also preferred time. Please also add a reply there saying it (e.g.: "1st pref.: monday after 7; 2nd pref.: Thursday after 8") as well as on the poll. Cheers, A. [btw, I'm doing this on a separate topic because I dunno how to add a poll to the main one ...and I've no idea if it'll work either! :S ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damaja Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Hi all, So, who's up for playing this Sunday again? Unfortunately, the manager at the X-Park has told me that the last 2 weeks the guy who I made the bookings with made a mistake and should only have charged us 600 baht/hr if we were playing "before 5pm" (and to be fair, it does say this on their leaflet etc.), so we have 2 choices: 1) make the booking 4pm (or maybe it could be 4.30pm - I could try) to keep the first hour at 600 bht/hr. or 2) keep the booking time at 5pm and pay the peak rate of 1200 bht/hr. Anyone got a problem with making it 4pm???? Anyway, as far as I can tell, the following is the playing/contact list for this week: Expected for Sunday 7th Feb at 4pm / 5pm (tbc?): - Damaja - Angustan - Beechy - Beejoir (+1) - Bkksteviejai - Chrisdino - Groovetank - JonnyF - Luang (+ Ron) - EmanuelSWE - Neutronium - Thehabs - Sure - Tamo Maybe, but not sure: - MegaRanter - ChrisMoss - Vid1 Edited February 5, 2010 by damaja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last weeks injury was fairly serious as thought- Grade 2 ruptured/torn calf muscle! Still on crutches at the moment and probably out for 5-8 weeks Warm up properly guys!

Hope it's not too painful and that you recover quickly! Lesson learnt!: Warm-up before and be sure to have good insurance (especially if, like me, you've pushed well over the hump of 30, when the muscles/cartilage/tendons are a lot less supple and prone to just give in if you don't give them fair warning).

angustan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi Adam, We have enough for tomorrow game? the game is what makes sunday more enjoyable and look foward to it every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damaja Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well, as I've not had anyone say they prefer the cheaper 4pm start this Sunday, and I've neither had confirmations from all potential players, I'm going to keep the booking at 5pm. I've had 4 guys that were there last week say they can't come this week (including Luang) 1 new player say he will come this week. 4 confirmations from players from last week that they will come... I'm hoping 5+ more of the unconfirmed ones will be able to make it as otherwise we'll maybe struggle to have enough. Anyone reading this topic for the first time, just come on down there and introduce yourself to join in So, to clarify: Kick-off at 5pm again this Sunday 7th Feb. Location: as before - Sponsor Park, Sathorn (see prev. posts for details). Price will be up to 120 bht each depending on how many come (or up to 240 bht if we play a 2nd hour like last week). Hope to see you there! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damaja Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Ok, well it seems like there'd not be enough for a game this evening with only 5 definites. Sorry Josh et al. Hopefully next week. For all that are interested in mid week games, if you haven't already, can you please post a reply to the "...which weekday eve?" topic here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?sh...view=getnewpost That'll make it much easier to see and count exactly who and how many are ready for it.

damaja Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Sorry guys, almost forgot to do the 'round-up' for this week... So, who's coming tomorrow (Sunday 14th Feb. - 5pm) ? Come on, you know you can sneak in a quick hour of footy before going out for that 'romantic dinner' with the other half... yes? My gf's away tomorrow, but seriously I'll understand if we've got a few cry-offs for valentine's. Or would it be better if I make the booking 4-5pm so it finishes earlier?
